The Lady Falcons took a quick lead in the first game before the Zias rallied back. They used a 7-1 run to pull even 12-12 and eventually finished off the game on a kill by senior outside hitter Marcie LeGrand.

ENMU led 8-5 after scoring six consecutive points in the second game, but Permian Basin used a 6-2 run to take control and even the match. The Lady Falcons erased a one-point deficit to pull out the third game.

ENMU dominated game 4 to square the match, but Permian Basin was in control most of the way in the deciding fifth game.

Permian Basin coach Steve Aicmena said his team is ready for today’s rematch with the Zias.

“It was a good match (Thursday),” Aicmena said. “We’re really looking forward to (the rematch).”

Maguire said he didn’t know what to expect today.

“Until we eliminate the errors, its going to be like this,” he said. “I can’t read (the players). We’ll see.”
